An international team of researchers has proposed a way to indirectly measure the rate of cosmic rays striking the Earth over millions of years. In their paper published in the journal Physical Review Letters, they suggest using the imprints made by atmospheric neutrinos in so-called “paleo-detectors”natural minerals expressing damage tracks resulting from nuclear recoils.
Every moment of every day, the Earth is bombarded by cosmic raysmost of them are light nuclei and protons. And as those cosmic…
